Mayor Graham Richard will attend the Richard Lugar-Purdue Summit on Energy Security August 29 at
“We must be committed to reducing energy dependency and improving air quality,” said Mayor Richard. “This summit will give leaders an opportunity to explore new ideas and plan an economic and energy strategy to promote new jobs and businesses.”
In addition, a Green Ribbon Commission, made up of government, business and neighborhood leaders, is creating a comprehensive energy and air quality plan. The Commission's action plan will include goals and performance measures to reduce energy costs and consumption and improve air quality. Their recommendations will be presented to the community this fall.
